Now that Lissandra has a new Bio, how about looking at giving her a new passive?

Right now, the only champions left with mana boosting passives are Lissandra and Xerath , as Nunu is being updated, and Veigar was changed a while ago

Although mana sustain passives are bland and boring, i feel like Xerath's passive actually feels impactful, but Lissandra's doesn't I could just make this post as a call to action for Riot to change her passive, but I'd much rather make this post a list of suggestions for a new passive

IMO, I would like a passive that makes use of her auto attacks, but still feels different than a item 3057

My suggestion is:

First: Reduce her Q damage (considerably), but make the slow more impactful (not single target) Although reducing the damage on her only consistent damage ability may seem stupid, that's where the passive comes in. In addition to this, Lissandra is losing the mana gain on her passive, so reducing the Q mana cost would also be ideal

Passive: 0.75 seconds after using a Q, Lissandra's next basic attack will fire an ice shard, (dealing damage equal to the damage that she lost on her Q), and pierces through all enemies it passes through.

I would like for this to be like RekSai R, where it can be dodged with quick movements (or summoner 4 ), but is fast and easy to hit at close range (as the travel distance is shorter), but more inaccurate at max attack range I feel like this will give Lissandra's kit more depth, as she now doesn't just EWRQ in teamfights, and her consistent damage is no longer as simple as pressing Q over and over again.

I don't know when these changes are coming exactly, but her passive is being changed and it seems decent.

This was released over a month ago, and Riot has come up with idea for Lissandra's passive before, but haven't gone through with it Besides, I feel like this passive isn't really true to lissandra's theme

They are currently working on the art assets for this one. It’s much further then simple idealization.

How... isn't this true to Lissandra's theme...?

Still a way out. Visual effects work on Liss has started, but is a rough draft. Once that's done we'll then need to get some audio done too to go with it.

-Quick gameplay thoughts aug 15. From previous posts, they've settled on a new passive where when Liss kills (or assists in a short window) an enemy champ, their corpse freezes and explodes, dealing damage to enemies around it.
